EXPERIENCE LOVE WITHIN
Chanting & Meditation Program
on Thursday, Feb 14th from 5 to 6pm
It is a Free Community Event, Open to Everyone, Couples are encourage to attend.
Mantra connects you to your Heart, to the Infinite, to Truth where there is no question, boundary, or lack of energy. Mantra shifts your inner vibration to vibration of LOVE.
Whatever thoughts or ideas that may mislead you will be corrected in this Mantra. This Mantra corrects you, without you knowing it because very simply you vibrate with its eternal truth and it becomes your eternal truth. All of the sudden things that were unbearable to deal with, challenges that you didn't know how to deal with, thoughts that kept coming back uninvited are brought to light.
The eternal Love, the only Power there is, always comes into play and relaxes things... that's all that is needed. Then you see what is real and what is not."

MANTRA MARATHON
Chanting the MUL MANTRA
this Sunday, January 20th,
starting at 3:30 to 6pm
for New Beginnings
MOOL (MUL) MANTRA, the ROOT Mantra of ALL MANTRAS!!
"The Mul Mantra connects you to the Infinite Truth where there is no question, boundary, or lack of energy. Whatever thoughts or ideas that may mislead you will be corrected in this Mantra. This Mantra corrects you, without you knowing it because very simply you vibrate with its eternal truth and it becomes your eternal truth. All of the sudden things that were unbearable to deal with, challenges that you didn't know how to deal with, thoughts that kept coming back uninvited are brought to light. The eternal truth always comes into play and relaxes things... that's all that is needed. Then you see what is real and what is not."
....This mantra was given to us by Guru Nanak, the first Guru of the Sikhs who walked this earth in the fifteenth century. It is a mantra that gives you the compass so that you may find your true self. This true self sits within the opening of your heart. Some say that the most difficult journey in life is moving from the energy of the navel center to the heart center.
The NAVEL CENTER is very important especially in its balanced state. The navel in a balanced state gives you the fire of courage to stand up for truth. It gives you the capacity to know your center, to be rooted in your inner truth. It gives you the basic energy of digestion... both in how we digest food, but also in how we digest energy. One beautiful teacher, Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati once said to me, "I eat pain for breakfast" referring to the energy that she dealt with after spending time with AIDS patients. Emotional or mental pain is a part of living life, especially for someone on a spiritual path. The drug companies and popular media make you believe that one should not have this kind of pain. Take a pill. Do something to shut yourself off. But the moment you go through the pain, the moment you digest it so to speak... you allow it to be... you embrace it... then that pain is healed forever and released. This takes a balanced navel center.
When our navel center is in an imbalanced state we are greedy, looking to acquire things and energy that we don't really need. We look to fill up an abyss within that can never be filled. That abyss comes from all of the pain that we haven't figured out how to digest. This energy I believe is prevalent in the world today. What is the remedy to bring us back into a balanced navel center which allows our heart to open? How can we be fulfilled without needing things from the outside? How can we find a simpler more sustainable way to live on this planet?
There are many tools to do just these things. A very powerful mantra tool is the Mul Mantra. I invite you to chant it with me THIS SUNDAY and let its energy unfold within you.
Here is the mantra with the translation. The translation is simply a reflection of my experience as a student of Yogi
Bhajan, and as a seeker at the feet of Guru Nanak.
EK ONG KAR .....
God is One, I am One with all beings
SAT NAM
Truth is God's Name... The vibration of God's Name is what created all beings.... that vibration is within me.... therefore in my core I am true.
KARTA PURKH
God is the Doer.... God does all things... God works through me.... God works through everyone in my life.
NIRBHAO...
God is fearless... I am fearless.
NIRVAIR....
God has no revenge.... I exist in my heart... I stay present... I don't hold on to the past.... I live in this moment in full compassion and acceptance of what is.
AKAL MURAT
God exists in the undying form... God is in the purity of our efforts to live in a spiritual way, and these efforts never die... these efforts live on forever.
AJOONEE.....
God is unborn.... God does not relate to birth and death.... God is beyond the cycles of life.... God is infinite... I am infinite
SAIBHANG.....
God is self illumined... I am self illumined. Within me I have the power to find light, to find love, to find joy. I don't need anyone or anything for this.
GURU PRASAAD......
It is by Guru's Grace.... it is the Grace of the teachings of the Divine One.... the Guru.... Guru Nanak, Jesus, Mohammed, the Masters of all traditions that give us Grace.
JAP.....
Meditate!
AAD SACH
True in the Beginning
JUGAAD SACH.....
True throughout the ages
HAIBHEE SACH
True here and now
NANAK HOSEE BHEE SACH.....
Oh Nanak, forever and always true. Spirit, Truth, Love, and Light.... these are the things that are true, that have always been true.
Both Mool and Mantra come from Sanskrit. Mool means root or source, primordial, base, foundation, or origin. Mantrameans sound current, chant, vibration, or frequency. Hence, the recitation of the Mool Mantra provides us with constant access to the infinite flow of divine spirit, which is our core and our origin. When we vibrate the Mool Mantra, the sound current awakens in our consciousness that experience of one primordial spirit moving throughout all creation and enables us to live in harmony with our divine essence. That is why the Siri Singh Sahib said that the Mool Mantra is a "Fate Killer. It removes the fate and changes the destiny to complete prosperity." Living in harmony with our spiritual essence, we rise above fate or karma and fulfill our highest destiny; and the infinite resources of the divine universal spirit cover our every need.
Just as the roots of a tree provide the anchor or base for a tree to grow strong and tall, the Mool Mantra gives us our own base or foundation in life. Even as the fragrance is present within the flower and the light of the sun in its colors, the essence of the Divine is summarized in the Mool Mantra.
This is the Mul Mantra....
Let us chant it together.
Let us let go of the dream... and find the reality of our truth.
We can be free.

About Rich Kiskiel - the Astrologer
Rich Kiskiel started his study under a Korean Martial Arts Grand Master who was also a Zen Master in 1975. The Teacher spoke so much of enlightenment and its benefits that Rich became totally convinced this was his path. He took a closet in his house soundproofed it and would meditate in the dark for entire weekends at the age of 22. He quickly became the first student in the class to become enlightened.
Then he lived in an Ashram for the purpose of more austere living for further enlightenment. Around this time he met many spiritually advanced people who recognized Rich as a Tibetan Buddhist Llama who spent several incarnations in monastery life.
Several astrologers whose advice Rich was seeking in the 80's would look at his Astrology chart and say to him "Do you know you are supposed to be a professional Astrologer." He was dumbfounded. So off he went to India wherehe studied and learned. He also discovered that the more people learn about Astrology the more they expand their minds.
He then began studying Astrology approximately 50 hours a week, until he became quite an expert at prediction and revealing peoples shadows to be healed.
In 2009 some higher power took control of his higher self and Rich began meditating 4, 5, 6 and up to 9 hours a day, easily. This led him to his next profound, spiritual experience where he was told to teach Astrology. Later, this experience was validated by Michael Beloved, who is one of the world authorities on spiritual texts.
Helping people transform and experience their higher selves through astrology and assist them in their journey toward enlightenment became his passion and his mission. He found the missing ingredient in teaching - loving the self.
